In Part 1 of this 3-episode series, John Kim and licensed therapist Rebecca Prolman break down attachment trauma in clear, human terms. They unpack emotional neglect, nervous-system dysregulation, the NARM approach (NeuroAffective Relational Model), and why so many of us carry shame that isn't ours. You'll learn the core dilemma children face (“stay connected to myself or stay safe in the bond?”), how that shapes adult relationships, and why agency + self-compassion are non-negotiables for healing. What you'll learn: Attachment trauma vs “big-T” trauma Emotional neglect and why it's so slippery to see The core dilemma and how shame gets internalized NARM, survival strategies, and nervous-system regulation Why we numb (food, sex, alcohol, scrolling) Agency: choosing with awareness instead of self-shame

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Throughout October, we have been exploring practical bullying prevention strategies, and today we are wrapping up the series with a focus on teaching self-advocacy. While this may seem like a more reactive approach, it is an essential skill that helps students navigate challenges with confidence. In this episode, we explore three simple ways to help students learn to advocate for themselves and others: Practice Scripts Provide students with sample scripts they can use in real-life situations. Watch short videos together, then practice through role play in small groups or class lessons. This gives students a chance to apply what they learn and build communication skills in a safe environment. Self-Esteem Affirmations Encourage students to use positive self-talk that supports their confidence. Have them create affirmation cards or write encouraging messages on sticky notes to remind themselves of their strengths and worth. Advocating for Others Teach students to be upstanders rather than bystanders. Traditional bullying prevention lessons can be adapted to show students how to recognize when someone needs help and how to take safe, supportive action. Tune in to learn how you can incorporate self-advocacy into your counseling lessons and empower your students to stand up for themselves and others.

C'est un cri bref, rauque, presque universel. Qu'il s'agisse d'un merle européen, d'un corbeau américain ou d'un bulbul indonésien, tous semblent partager un même signal sonore : le cri d'alerte. Une étude publiée en 2025 par une équipe internationale de bioacousticiens, après avoir analysé plus de 300 espèces à travers tous les continents, révèle qu'il existe une signature acoustique commune lorsque les oiseaux veulent signaler un danger.Les chercheurs ont observé que ce cri particulier, souvent émis en cas de prédation, possède toujours les mêmes caractéristiques : une fréquence médiane, un timbre rugueux, et une durée très courte, de l'ordre de quelques dixièmes de seconde. Contrairement aux chants territoriaux ou aux appels de contact, qui varient énormément d'une espèce à l'autre, le cri d'alerte semble obéir à une logique universelle, presque instinctive.Cette convergence n'a rien d'un hasard. Selon l'étude, elle répond à des contraintes évolutives partagées. Un cri d'alerte doit être immédiatement reconnaissable, même pour une autre espèce, et difficile à localiser par le prédateur. Ce double objectif expliquerait pourquoi, au fil des millions d'années, les oiseaux ont développé des signaux acoustiques similaires, malgré leurs différences de taille, d'habitat ou de larynx.Les chercheurs ont mené des expériences étonnantes : dans une réserve du Costa Rica, la diffusion du cri d'alerte d'une mésange charbonnière a provoqué la fuite instantanée d'une dizaine d'autres espèces, pourtant étrangères à ce son. En Afrique du Sud, le même phénomène a été observé chez les tisserins et les tourterelles. Même les oiseaux qui n'avaient jamais été exposés à ces signaux semblaient en comprendre le sens, comme s'il existait un code sonore universel du danger.Cette découverte bouleverse notre compréhension du langage animal. Elle suggère que la communication entre espèces pourrait reposer sur des structures acoustiques fondamentales, comparables à des “mots” partagés de manière instinctive. En d'autres termes, les oiseaux parleraient tous une forme de dialecte commun lorsqu'il s'agit de survie.Au-delà de la curiosité scientifique, ces travaux ouvrent des perspectives fascinantes. Comprendre ce langage universel pourrait aider les écologues à mieux anticiper les réactions des oiseaux face aux menaces — qu'elles soient naturelles ou humaines. Et si, quelque part dans la canopée, un cri bref et rugueux s'élève, ce n'est pas une simple note dans le vent : c'est peut-être la langue la plus ancienne du monde animal, celle de la peur partagée.

Esta semana en La Alboreá nos sumergimos en la riqueza musical de Costa Rica y en composiciones nacidas en distintos rincones de Iberoamérica. Música que, en algunos casos, puede resultarnos desconocida; en otros, familiar; y a veces, absolutamente inolvidable.El director de orquesta Andrés Salado nos presenta al joven compositor costarricense Alejandro Acuña Moreira, ganador del Concurso Nacional de Composición 2023 por su obra Arenal 1968. Se trata de un poema sinfónico dividido en cuatro partes, que narra, a través de la música, una de las mayores tragedias volcánicas del país: la erupción del Cerro Arenal en 1968, que sepultó un pueblo entero bajo las cenizas.Además, Salado nos explica la historia detrás de una de las piezas más reconocibles de la música brasileña: Tico-Tico, escrita por Zequinha de Abreu. Basada en el género musical típico de Brasil llamado choro, esta composición lleva el nombre de un pequeño gorrión autóctono que come harina de maíz. Puede que el nombre no les suene, pero seguro que, al escucharla, la reconocen al instante.Escuchar audio

In this podcast episode, Daniel Batten discusses the environmental impacts of Bitcoin mining, his journey into Bitcoin, the IMF's influence on Bitcoin adoption, and his current projects in Latin America. Key Topics: Bitcoin and the environment The role of Bitcoin in stabilizing grids and accelerating renewable energy transition IMF and its influence on Bitcoin adoption Bitcoin as a solution to landfills CH4 Capital Summary: Daniel Batten debunks the common misconception that Bitcoin is bad for the environment by comparing it to the early days of solar technology, which also faced similar criticisms. He explains that Bitcoin mining, when powered by renewable energy sources, can be emission-reducing. He emphasizes that negative headlines about Bitcoin's environmental impact often overshadow positive stories, such as its role in mitigating methane emissions, stabilizing the grid, and accelerating the renewable energy transition. Daniel criticizes the media for disproportionately reporting negative aspects of Bitcoin mining while ignoring positive externalities. He uses the example of wasted wind energy in the UK, where wind farms are often built in remote locations without adequate infrastructure to transport the electricity to consumers. He explains that Bitcoin mining can utilize this wasted energy, turning a problem into an economic opportunity. Daniel shares his journey into Bitcoin, which began with his work in impact investing. He invested in climate tech companies focused on reducing CO2 emissions, but he wanted to have a more immediate and significant impact, particularly on methane emissions. His research led him to landfills, a major source of methane emissions, and he realized that Bitcoin mining could provide an economic incentive to capture and utilize landfill gas for energy. Daniel explains the concept of modern sanitary landfills that are lined to prevent leakage into the soil. However, these landfills create a compacted environment that causes the waste to rot without air, producing methane. Most of the landfills in the world release methane into the air, which is harmful to the environment. Daniel talks about the cost to build landfills, which can be hundreds of millions of dollars. He said waste management will always be one of the biggest single line items on your local government bill. He discusses the potential for Bitcoin mining to utilize wasted energy from hydro dams, as demonstrated by Bhutan. Bhutan used wasted energy from the hydro dams to mine Bitcoin, which helped them avoid an IMF bailout. Now Bitcoin mining is 40% of their entire GDP. There are now 10 nation states that are mining bitcoin. According to Daniel, the predominant method has been to mine bitcoin as a nation state and to acquire Bitcoin that way. Daniel discusses the IMF's concerns about Bitcoin adoption in countries like El Salvador, Argentina, Pakistan, and the Central African Republic. He suggests that the IMF's concerns are not genuine but are driven by the fear of losing customers and geopolitical influence. He discusses John Perkins's work on economic hitmen and how the IMF and World Bank can trap countries in debt cycles, extracting resources and influencing their economies. Daniel shares that he is currently located in Costa Rica, where he is working on projects to capture landfill gas and use it for Bitcoin mining. He's working on establishing the infrastructure needed to capture and utilize landfill gas for Bitcoin mining. He highlights the challenges of finding suitable sites for Bitcoin mining, regardless of the energy source. He discusses CH4 Capital, a company he operates where people can get a non-exceptional return. CH4 capital is a vehicle where people can get a combination of money coming in through the loan repayments, but also through the carbon credits without the conditions that the IMF have attached. Finally, Daniel shares who he would give his last orange pill to: the head of the United Nations, because the story of Bitcoin's social utility is so untold. He says that if the head of the UN knew that 300,000 refugees have used Bitcoin to flee their homeland and set up from scratch, then those sorts of stories would just find their way through into popular consciousness much more.

Aunque en nuestro país se practican únicamente 6 o 7 abortos terapéuticos al año; lo cual significa que es un procedimiento excepcional para casos muy calificados, la obsesión de grupos ultraconservadores y los intereses político electorales de turno, enarbolan la falsa bandera de la defensa de la vida, para dejar en estado de indefensión a mujeres que viven la dolorosa y traumática experiencia de tener un embarazo inviable. Es precisamente por el objetivo de permanencia en el poder de sus correligionarios, que el propio presidente de la República dio a conocer que hizo un pacto con la Alianza Evangélica de Costa Rica y por ende sustituía la reglamentación de la norma técnica vigente por una nueva que, a criterio de los expertos, genera incertidumbre en el cuerpo médico dada su errática redacción con terminología y conceptos inventados. El tema, como todo asunto sensible que divide opiniones y que constituye plato atractivo para desviar la atención de otros desafíos y prácticas irregulares, pone en dificultad a las organizaciones que protegen los Derechos Humanos y específicamente la salud de las mujeres: si lo abordan entran en el juego perverso de atizar la hoguera de la polarización electoral y si no, parecieran callar ante el retroceso de logros que ha costado mucho obtener en salud pública. Al respecto conversamos con el médico especialista en bioética Alejandro Marín Mora.

In this episode, we conclude the building block of delivery and provision of social protection from our social protection solar system. After discussing the role of informal workers' organizations in the delivery of childcare and healthcare, in this third and final episode of the series, we will talk about the role of informal workers organizations in the delivery of social security benefit for workers in the informal economy. In Costa Rica, an innovative approach to social security has been implemented over the years by the national government to include rural workers and, more recently, informal urban workers. In this policy, grassroots workers' organizations play a key role not only in the last mile delivery, but in several stages of the delivery chain. To learn more how Collective Social Insurance Agreements work in Costa Rica, their challenges and potential for expansion and replication, I talked to Fabio Durán. Fabio is an economist and served as Head of the Public Finance, Actuarial and Statistics Unit at ILO's Social Protection Department in Geneva, and has just retired as the ILO's senior specialist in Social Protection and Economic Development for Central America and Mexico, in their office in Costa Rica.

This episode came through as I landed back home, after a month in Costa Rica, standing on the other side of breaking the structure. What I'm sharing with you today is not just a reflection of that trip, it's what happens when you stop compartmentalizing your life and start living as one continuous frequency. I realized that even while teaching this work, I was still separating the parts of me: the one who surfs and walks barefoot through Costa Rica, and the one who leads and teaches and creates. But there's no separation in truth. There's only one life. Inside this conversation, I share how breaking the structure is not a loss of focus, it's the bridge to expansion. You'll hear how I caught myself slipping back into time, how I chose power over regret, and what it actually means to live from money neutrality, the energetic mountaintop where abundance becomes natural, not chased. We also explore the difference between creating from need versus creating from neutrality, and how to hold higher standards that reflect your new energetic frequency without slipping into control. This is for you if you've been moving through contrast, if things feel both open and uncertain, or if you know you're being restructured into a higher version of yourself.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! October is Bullying Prevention Month, and throughout the month I'll be sharing some replays of our best episodes focused on strategies to prevent bullying in schools. In today's episode, we're diving into friendship skills — an essential foundation for creating a kind, connected, and inclusive school culture. I'll be sharing ideas you can use at every level: schoolwide, classroom, small group, and individual. Schoolwide Strategies Buddy Bench (Elementary Level): Transform an existing bench at recess into a “Buddy Bench.” When a student feels lonely or doesn't have anyone to play with, they can sit there to signal they're looking for a friend. Other students are encouraged to approach, sit with them, or invite them to join in play. Mix It Up at Lunch Day (Middle School Level): Help reduce lunchroom anxiety by encouraging students to sit somewhere new for a day. This activity helps them meet new peers and break out of their usual social circles. Assigned Recess Groups: Rotate groups of students to play or interact together, fostering connections between kids who might not usually spend time with one another. Classroom Strategies Friendship Lessons: Lead a class discussion or activity around the qualities of a good friend versus the qualities of a not-so-good friend. This sets the tone for healthy peer relationships and respectful communication. Small Group Strategies Friendship Discussions: Talk about what makes a good friend and how good friends act. Friendship Dice Game: Use discussion prompts such as “What do you love about your friends?” or “What annoys you about your friends?” to spark meaningful conversations. Conflict Resolution Practice: Teach students to use “I” statements to express their feelings and resolve friendship conflicts. Scenario Cards: Role-play different social situations to help students problem-solve and practice empathy. Individual Counseling Strategies Scripts and Role Plays: Work one-on-one with students to build their social confidence. The goal is to help them gain the skills they need to transition into small group or class activities successfully.

Jim Gale is an entrepreneur, outdoor enthusiast, permaculture advocate, and the visionary founder of Food Forest Abundance. A four-time All-American and National Champion wrestler, Jim has always approached life with focus and passion. At just 29 years old, he set a bold goal, to retire within three years, and went on to build a billion-dollar mortgage company within four, achieving that dream through drive and determination. After his success in business, Jim turned his focus inward, seeking a deeper sense of purpose. He spent a year living on a boat before moving to Costa Rica to build eco-villages, where he discovered permaculture, a revelation that transformed his life. This was the moment he found his true calling: to help create a world where every household can grow its own food and live sustainably. From that vision, Food Forest Abundance was born. Food Forest Abundance is a global movement dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to grow their own food, achieve food sovereignty, and live in harmony with nature. The company designs and implements regenerative food systems, using permaculture principles to turn ordinary lawns and landscapes into thriving, self-sustaining food forests. Each design helps restore soil health, increase biodiversity, and provide nutrient-dense food with minimal maintenance. Jim's mission is simple yet profound: to transform food deserts into food forests and build a future where health, freedom, and abundance are accessible to all. Through his work and motivational talks, he continues to inspire people around the world to embrace self-reliance, regenerative living, and the Grow Freedom mindset. We discuss:  How food forests can address global challenges and create long-term sustainability. Why real, homegrown food is essential for health, well-being, and freedom. The mindset shifts needed to live in abundance and work in harmony with nature. Practical steps for building a homestead and growing food without relying on government systems.

Solo again from Costa Rica. We're soaking in the beach sun,, hiking in nature a little, and overall enjoying a slower pace than what we had in Warsaw or Prague.In this episode, I dive into the AI revolution and what investors can learn from the dot-com bubble 25 years ago. I talk about how hype and leverage repeat through history, why it's nearly impossible to know which companies will last, and why sometimes it's wiser to buy the whole haystack instead of trying to find the needle.I also discuss Ferdinand Magellan, New York's growing migrant crisis, some lie detection, and Obama's comments on the places we've spent the past two summers.

And here's the good news: you don't have to keep doing that. You can choose to Write Big, with courage, clarity, and the power to bring your whole self to the page.Today I'm talking about why I'm obsessed with the whole concept of writing big, and why I've committed my whole career to helping writers do it.In April, I went on a wellness retreat in Costa Rica, which was being run by Dr. Diana Hill, one of my book coaching clients, and the author of the book Wise Effort. When we arrived, there were the usual introductions—where are you from? What do you do? What brought you here? One woman heard about my work with Diana and said, “Oh, that's so crazy. I'm dying to write a book. I'd love to talk to you.”I smiled and said something polite, because this is something I hear all the time. I'm a book coach, and whenever anybody hears about what I do, they always say that either they or their sister or cousin or brother or neighbor or somebody is dying to write a book. They say that 82% of American adults want to write a book. And from my experience out in the world, I don't doubt it.In the middle of the week, Diana guided us through a visualization exercise designed to help us reconnect with our values and desires, and it was intense. We had to write for 15 minutes about what we would do if we only had a year left to live. We then had to write about what we would do if we only had a month left to live, and then a week, and then a minute.After we did the writing exercises, we partnered up with whoever was sitting next to us to share what we had discovered, and my partner happened to be the woman who wanted to write the book. I shared with her that if I had a year left to live, I would absolutely be writing a book to try to capture everything that I've learned throughout my career. I'm just wired to teach and to inspire others, and it's what I would do.If I only had a month left to live, I'd still have that on my list. I imagined a burst of creative energy at the end of my life to propel me through this creativity, and of course leave me time to be with my husband and my two kids. We would probably watch silly movies and play games and fight about it, and we would probably take walks, and I would tell them how much I've loved loving them.When I got down to one week left to live, and then one minute, writing reluctantly dropped off my list because I had to face the limits of time and my priorities of being with my family. But what was interesting is that the woman who literally told me she was dying to write a book did not include writing on any of her lists.And to be honest, this didn't surprise me. So many people say they want to write a book, but they don't want it to cost them anything. They don't want to give up anything in order to do it. They're not ready to Write Big.But I find that the writers who are ready to Write Big—the ones who are yearning to connect with their deepest creative desires and write something they love that their readers might love—those people are motivated to do whatever it takes, if only they knew what those things were.These writers are already probably spending time, effort, energy, and money writing their morning pages, clocking 1000 words a day, maybe turning out shitty first drafts and maybe even publishing. They're doing work, but the books they're writing are falling flat, failing to make an impact, and leaving them frustrated and desperate to figure out what's missing in their creative life. They can't quite figure out why they're not writing something that feels as amazing to them as the writing that they love feels when they read it.Compounding this frustration is the glut of craft resources, productivity tips, and marketing strategies coming at us every day. It's easy to get lulled into the belief that knowing how to write and publish is all it takes to fulfill your creative dreams. But I know better.In my work at Author Accelerator, where I train and certify people to be book coaches, mostly what we're doing is helping people figure out how to help writers to Write Big. At the end of the day, what an excellent book coach does is help a writer step into their full creative power.And I want to be clear about what I mean by writing big. It's not about hitting bestseller lists or being loud on the internet. It's bringing your whole self to the page, choosing courage over comfort, and daring to be seen. It's the difference between spending time on your writing—and committing your whole self to it.The ironic thing is that when writers decide to play big, the rewards of the marketplace often follow, because readers can tell when you're playing small, holding back, dialing it in, or not really connecting with yourself or them.I sometimes think there are bigger problems in the world than helping writers make a shift in their relationship to their work. But then I'm reminded of what happens when writers bring their whole selves to the page. Hearts and minds get changed, people feel less alone, the world becomes more connected.So what I'll be talking about in these Write Big Sessions is BIG! I'll be keeping the episodes short on purpose, and I'll usually end with a reflection or action step. I'm a book coach, after all—it's what I do.For today, I would just ask you to think about what the concept of writing big has brought up for you, just hearing about it. What feelings or thoughts arise?Until next time, stop playing small, and write like it matters.NarratorThe Hashtag AmWriting Podcast is produced by Andrew Perrella.

En este episodio de En Defensa Propia me siento con dos mujeres que decidieron construir una forma distinta de emprender. Mariana Fresnedo y Alma Ben no llegaron aquí por casualidad. Las dos pasaron por caminos intensos, llenos de logros, pero también de caos, agotamiento y renuncias. En algún momento, ambas se dieron cuenta de que podían facturar siete cifras… pero, ¿a qué costo? Lo que comenzó como un encuentro espiritual en un ashram en Costa Rica, se convirtió en una alianza poderosa. Desde ahí, crearon Soul Business Academy, un espacio donde estrategia y conciencia se encuentran para acompañar a mujeres del mundo del bienestar que ya no quieren construir desde el sacrificio, sino desde la coherencia. En esta conversación hablamos de todo eso que no se suele decir cuando se habla de éxito. De la trampa del perfeccionismo. De cómo emprender sin destruir tu cuerpo, tu sistema nervioso o tus relaciones. De cómo dejar de vender desde el miedo y empezar a liderar desde la autenticidad. También hablamos de dinero. Sí, de números, facturación, estrategias. Pero no como un fin, sino como un medio para vivir una vida más libre, más consciente, más conectada contigo misma. Y esto aplica especialmente para mujeres que crecimos pensando que debíamos "dar más de lo que cobramos", que teníamos que cuidar de todos antes que de nosotras, que ponerle precio a nuestro trabajo era ser egoísta. Mariana y Alma nos recuerdan que no tienes que elegir entre ser espiritual y ser ambiciosa. Que puedes quererlo todo: libertad, expansión, abundancia, descanso. Y que sí, hay una manera de lograrlo sin quemarte en el intento. Si eres coach, terapeuta, guía, psicóloga, instructora de yoga, o trabajas en cualquier área del bienestar, esta conversación te va a hablar directamente al alma. Y si alguna vez sentiste que tu negocio se estaba volviendo una jaula más, este episodio va a ser una bocanada de aire. Aquí no vas a encontrar fórmulas mágicas, pero sí vas a encontrar verdad. Vas a sentirte acompañada. Y, quizás, vas a empezar a ver el éxito desde otro lugar: uno que también te incluye a ti. Gracias por estar aquí. Si este episodio te tocó, compártelo con una mujer que también esté construyendo algo desde el corazón.
